What about teething?

Help for a cranky baby

The discomfort of teeth coming into the mouth can cause your baby to become irritable. Signs of teething, in addition to fussiness, are drooling and the urge to mouth objects. A temperature of less than 100 degree is considered normal while teething. If your child has a fever while teething, call your physician. You can ease some of the discomfort by lightly rubbing your baby's gums with a clean finger or a wet gauze pad. A cool teething ring can also help soothe a baby´s tender gums.

What should I do about thumb or pacifier sucking?

Current attitudes on breaking the habit

The catchall term for the various oral sucking habits of children is non-nutritive sucking. This includes thumb or finger sucking and the use of pacifiers. Most contemporary pediatric health providers agree that these habits have important formative and nurturing functions and, at least for the first few years of life (up until about age 4), should be ignored.

There is almost universal agreement that sucking should cease before permanent teeth begin to appear. The duration and intensity of sucking seems to be more important in determining dental changes. A critical issue with pacifiers is safety. A pacifier should be resistant to breakage, designed to prevent airway obstruction, kept clean, and never secured around your child´s neck. Consult your pediatrician on your child´s sucking habits.

What´s the best way to brush?

Technique IS important

For infants, dentists and hygienists often recommend that parents use a simple, gentle, short, back and forth motion to brush and remove plaque. Once children are older, the following method is recommended.

What about the right toothbrush?

There are so many to choose from!

Children need to use a child's size toothbrush. These are designed specifically for the size and shape of a child´s mouth & hands. For example a large handle can help children control their toothbrush. Soft bristles with rounded end provide gentle cleaning of teeth & delicate gum tissue. Bright colors or fun patterns can help encourage brushing & make oral care fun.

Which kind of toothpaste should I choose?

Kids use what they like.

One of the best ways to keep your child brushing is by having fluoride toothpaste on hand that is pleasing and easy to use. The taste can make brushing a more enjoyable experience, leading to more thorough brushing. Brushing twice a day results in increased fluoride applications to help strengthen tooth enamel and more opportunities to remove plaque.

MORE THINGS PARENTS SHOULD KNOW.

Here are answers to some of parents' other most frequently asked questions regarding their Children´s teeth & oral health.

Can antibiotics stain my child's teeth?

Yes. Some types of antibiotics can cause permanent discoloration of the teeth. Be sure to discuss this with your pediatrician or family practitioner when antibiotics are prescribed.

Does mouth breathing affect the formation of teeth?

If your child is a mouth breather, consult your dentist and pediatrician. Mouth breathing can be the result of an obstruction caused by enlarged tonsils or adenoids or from chronic nasal congestion. It can lead to dental abnormalities that may require professional correction such as braces.

Should children wear mouth guards when playing sports?

Considering more than 200,000 injuries to the mouth and jaw occur each year, dentists support the use of mouth guards in a variety of sports activities. Mouth guards are effective in moving soft tissue in the oral cavity away from the teeth, preventing laceration and bruising of the lips and cheeks, especially for children who wear braces. Clean with cold water or with an antiseptic mouth rinse. Store your mouth guard in a firm, perforated container.

Why does my child have chronic bad breath?

Bad breath can be a sign of inflamed or infected tonsils or adenoids, chronic nasal congestion, tooth decay, or gum problems. Consult with your dentist or pediatrician.

What if my child has a tooth knocked out?

Do not scrub or cleanse the tooth. Immediately place it in milk. If this is not available, wrap the tooth in a clean, wet paper towel or cloth and take it and your child to the dentist as quickly as possible. Many times, the tooth can be re implanted into the tooth socket, given this quick thinking attention.
